ok so I was running drizzy's 2.7 and i needed to repartition so i could install the jac drizzy collaborative hero
after repartitioning i tried starting up so i could connect to my pc and put the update on my sd card. it goes to the g1 screen and then goes to a completely black screen and stays there... no hero or android logo....i can still do recovery i think
ha sorry i miss read your question. can you even go to recovery?
def not a brick... brick = not able to access bootloader or recovery screen. If you can access those, just transfer file over via adb and just re-flash and you should be good.
i dont know what adb is so im just gotta put a ROM on the sd card via a reader and flash it???

ADB is your best friend. It will let you do things when you can't do anything on your phone (like in your case).
If you are going to mess with Hero roms (or any experimental roms for that matter) you really need to learn at least the basics of it. Read up on it and start using it. It's a lot better then trying to put in 10 lines of code on phone's keyboard.
Good luck
i used an sd card reader to put the file on my sd card and now its flashing....i cant find a thread through search about adb...got any good links???

Go into Dream Android Development forum, second sticky from the top. It has all the info you will ever need, including basic ADB comands. At this point that's all you need, you will learn more as you move along and do things over and over again.
Edit: Silly me, look at the first thread on this forum
Good luck.

yes ive searched. yes ive tried alot of things. now that thats out the way id be grateful for any help on the topic. i dowloaded a few dreaimg files from xda as wll as androidandme.com rooting guide. none work. i tried to format my card again to load the image back on the sd card and try again and no luck my comp wont even read my sd card now. i have an 8gb and i hope its not fully fried but i can get another card if needed. my main thing is i was going from rc-33 back to 29 in order to root the phone and i get the dreaimg.nbh fail. i havent had a phone for about 3 days. if there is anyone out there to help ill take it. thanks in advanced.
what steps are you doing? explain step by step what you are doing....
Format your card to be Fat32 and make sure that you do not use a card reader. Works like a charm. The main thing is that your card needs to be Fat32.
I tried using a card reader but would not read then I formatted thru the phone and worked and flashed

step by step
i formatted the card while it was in my phone to FAT32.
i downloaded the image to get my phone back down to rc29 in order to root.
directly from my phones browser i downloaded http://www.androidactivity.com/root/root.apk over wifi
installed the root.apk file
powered off my phone then turned it back on by holding cam button and power.
ressed power to run image then got FAIL.
i followed the instructions from here:
http://www.androidandme.com/2009/05...r-rooting-your-android-g1-to-install-cupcake/
after it failed there was no way for me to mount my phone so i got a sd card reader, plugged that in and then went to apply the file manually. i deleted the old file then put the new one on and it still didnt work so i decided to format the card to fat32 again and then try to put the fileback on. now the card cannot be read.
thank you for the quick responses i appreciate it.
i didn't use thaqt app- i just did it the old fashioned way in the sticky thread on this forum.
i read in the middle of that page you linked to that "Update: Some users have reported the DREAIMG.nbh file gets corrupted when downloading over 3G/Edge. To avoid this just download the file to your PC and then copy it to the SD card." -
is this what you did? i see you downloaded it from your phone- maybe its the phone that corrupts it- DL it from your PC and transfer apk over from there.
looks like a nice app though.....

So I was having problems with a boot loop after upgrading to JACxHERO this evening, so after trying to wipe and reflash and still encountering errors, I opted to try redoing my partitions on the ol' sd card.
This hit me with a hiccup. I dont actually have an SD card reader that can read SDHC cards, as I have been mounting the the phone to my laptop via USB to trasfer stuff. Given that the phone is in non-bootable condition, I am kind of stuck.
Is there any way I can somehow ftp or ssh into the phone to put files onto it? or somehow mount the SD via USB somehow in the console?
What advice can you give, I made a booboo, and I am scared at the prospect of being phoneless until tomorrow (labor day) trying to find somewhere that is open to get an SD card reader.
Oh for ****'s sake... why the multiple threads?! Check the SD CARD thread in this forum to get yourself up and running. Once properly partitioned, you can mount the sd card in Recovery and transfer over the ROM you want to flash to and proceed.
Uansari, calm down, this is normal in q&a, op go into your recovery console and type ums_enable to mount your card to your card via usb, type ums_disable to unmount it and then type recovery to go back to the recovery

Yes, but it's not normal to post the same thread in multiple forums... this exact thread is in the development forum as well.
Anyway, I suggested strless's SDCARD thread... hopefully he's looking through it now.
Oh, I didn't know that it is also in dev forum also, I was not over, I am sorry, thought that you were annoyed that there is like 10 threads in the first two pages asking the same question

No, that's just in line with the typical lack of consideration by noobs. Everyone thinks they're special and don't search, because no one else can ever have had the same problem or question they have.
I guess that is annoying me, lol...
Regardless, if people post in General or Q&A, I'll still help them even if they're being idiots. If they post threads in Development, then I'll be an asshole and call them out for being morons.
Yeah I agree with you there, I avoid the dev forum for the most part unless I am checking up on roms or android updates. There are plenty of people already there that will get the point across much but than me like mikey the mod, he does it very well

So using a different phone the SDcard works? It maybe that the SDcard reader on the G1 is failing. I would try to use Paragon Partition Manager and see if that helps.

Nope, it'll only fix the SDcard. The SDcard reader on your G1 won't be affected. If it's broke, it's broke.

Not sure, I've heard people using fastboot or ADB but I've never had to do it. I'll look into it (for my own courisity) You should do the same (because it's your problem)

does anyone know how to plz i have the same problem wit the sd card reader i wipped my phone and its not allowing me to flash anything from the zip card and its ot the card its the reader so does anyone know how to fix??
First, both of you need to rule out SD card falilure/user error. Does your card work in your computer? Can you format it to FAT32? If you can and your phones can't see it or any other cards.... you might as well get a new phone. As far as LatinIME FCs, go download any VK from the market or install HTC IME (which is way nicer anyway), go into settings-locale&text and uncheck stock VK, check whatever new VK of your choice is. That will stop FCs

but is their no way that i can install a rom or anything thru adb or sumthing cuz like my phone doesnt have any rom on it right now so yeaa i havent used my g1 in like maybe 2 weeks=( so like i just wana load a rom and be able 2 use my phone i really dont care for da sdcard
If your SD card is broken, get a new one.
How can you logically expect to use the phone without one? I'm aware you CAN, but I mean there are so few ROM's out there that don't use A2SD, let alone you can't make nandroid backups, and some apps can't store data. Maybe I missed something, but is there a reason you can't just use a different SD card? You can buy an 8gb class 6 MicroSD for under $20. If you can afford the $200-500 phone....

It is possible if you unpack the update.zip and manually copy everything over to the right place, then flash the boot.img with fastboot.
Surely it's simpler to just buy a cheap card though? Without a2sd your choice of what to flash is going to be severely limited.
the sd slot does not work at all. i have 2 sd cards a 1gig and a 4 gig(class6), the problem is the rom is acting up and i cant correct the phone without reverting back to stock, but in order to do that i need the sd card slot to be working. thats why i want to know if you can push the file to the phones ram and try booting it from there or even do it from the computer. and i also wanted to see if bringing the phone back to stock would probably fix the sd slot. so if someone has an idea im open to trying it out
So I'm trying to do the SD Card install of CM10, I will probably want to do the emmc install but wanted to check it out first. I copied the files over to a SanDisk 16GB micro SD, poped it in. It takes a few tries but it will finally load up the bootloader after a few tries. But then when I go to install the zip it tells me it Can't mount emmc or can't mount sdcard. I tried both.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

I know Im not posting in the proper place thats because I don't have enough posts to do so.
Took 6 hours but I used the emmc tutorial instead and it is going smoothly so far, however I can't seem to download gaps the site is down.

I I did the EZ Tutorial and had it done in a flash. Just follow word for word. You might have to reformat your SD card using the SD Card Format Tool to get the full capacity back after you do it.

It might work from a mac but the directions for PC were to "Use WinImage to write" I was unable to get WinImage to write anything. It would only open the img file. However the other tutorial told me to use "Win32DiskImager" which worked fine and was much more straight forward. Maybe I'm not using WinImage right, but I couldn't figure out how to sue this program to write the image to the SD card. Instructions should clarify, because if I'm having a hard time with it most people would be completely lost.
Got it working now eMMC style. Just need to figure out how to get Swype running.

So I made the mistake of turning the device off and back on, now it gets stuck at the CyanogenMod boot screen? What now!
